RSi Provides Visual System for World’s First Level D 429 Full Flight Simulator in Valencia, Spain

The Bell Helicopter's Valencia Training Academy is now home to the world’s first Level D 429 Full Flight simulator

Certified by both the EASA and the FAA, this simulator, dubbed “The Mothership”, uses an epic-Dome direct projection display system by RSi, providing a 240° horizontal by 80° vertical field of view. The projection system integrates 10 Barco F35 IR projectors that utilize RSi’s epic blend optical edge blend system, with one additional projector providing the chin window display. Driven by RSi’s powerful RS100 image generation system, pilots are able to experience helicopter-specific features like realistic rotor wash on an unprecedented 41-megapixel display. From our dynamic ocean to the movement of individual blades of grass, the epic-Dome visual system provides truly immersive visuals that uniquely address the requirements of helicopter training.
